Thanks, David. It’s become clear in the course of preparing for this move that I need a completely new backup system. Currently I have two 1 Tb FireWire drives. Nowhere near enough, especially now that photos, and RAW files at that, are accumulating faster than they used to. I’m thinking of a setup that would provide hot-swappable drives and wifi accessibility. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Eric Weir Decatur, GA USA [email protected] “...we are a form of invitation to others and to otherness..." - David Whyte -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
